๐ Introducing The Project
Express consists of JavaScript, which makes it vulnerable to type definitions.
That's why we avoid supersets with starter packages that introduce TypeScript.
The package is configured to use TypeScript instead of JavaScript.
The project referred to express-generator-typescript
๐ค What is Express ?
Express is a fast, open and concise web framework and is a Node.js based project.
๐ Quick Start
Install with the npm Global Package
$ npm install -g typescript-express-starter
Run npx to Install The Package
npx is a tool in the JavaScript package management module, npm.
This is a tool that allows you to run the npm package on a single run without installing the package.
If you do not enter a project name, it defaults to typescript-express-starter.
$ npx typescript-express-starter "project name"
Select a Templates
Start your typescript-express-starter app in development mode at http://localhost:3000/

๐ The Package Features
๐ณ Docker :: Container Platform
Docker is a platform for developers and sysadmins to build, run, and share applications with containers.
Docker Install.
- starts the containers in the background and leaves them running :
docker-compose up -d
- Stops containers and removes containers, networks, volumes, and images :
docker-compose down
Modify docker-compose.yml
and Dockerfile
file to your source code.
โป๏ธ NGINX :: Web Server
NGINX is a web server that can also be used as a reverse proxy, load balancer, mail proxy and HTTP cache.
Proxying is typically used to distribute the load among several servers, seamlessly show content from different websites, or pass requests for processing to application servers over protocols other than HTTP.
When NGINX proxies a request, it sends the request to a specified proxied server, fetches the response, and sends it back to the client.
Modify nginx.conf
file to your source code.
โจ ESLint, Prettier :: Code Formatter
Prettier is an opinionated code formatter.
ESLint, Find and fix problems in your JavaScript code
It enforces a consistent style by parsing your code and re-printing it with its own rules that take the maximum line length into account, wrapping code when necessary.

๐ Swagger :: API Document
Swagger is Simplify API development for users, teams, and enterprises with the Swagger open source and professional toolset.
Easily used by Swagger to design and document APIs at scale.
Start your app in development mode at http://localhost:3000/api-docs
Modify swagger.yaml
file to your source code.
๐ REST Client :: HTTP Client Tools
REST Client allows you to send HTTP request and view the response in Visual Studio Code directly.
VSCode Extension REST Client Install.
Modify *.http
file in src/http folder to your source code.
๐ฎ PM2 :: Advanced, Production process manager for Node.js

- production mode ::
npm run deploy:prod
orpm2 start ecosystem.config.js --only prod
- development mode ::
npm run deploy:dev
orpm2 start ecosystem.config.js --only dev
Modify ecosystem.config.js
